It may only be one of Canberra’s newer suburbs, but Crace in the Gungahlin region was ahead of its time.

It was designed with hectares of green space, and with a vision to reinvent the traditional Australian suburb. The suburb set a new benchmark for industry innovation and has gone on to win multiple national awards.

Crace was also the first suburb in Australia to achieve GreenSmart accreditation in recognition of its sustainability initiatives, including cutting-edge water-sensitive urban design.

Or settle in for relaxed, modern pub fare, brunch or just a drink at local watering hole, The District.

And Crace residents are some of a select few in Canberra who can receive coffee, sweet treats, meals and even some grocery items delivered in minutes via drone thanks to Wing.
